An Oklahoma City native who rushed for over 2,800 career yards across three different college programs.
Dominic Richardson took a long road through college football, starting at Oklahoma State, moving to Baylor, and finally breaking out at Tulsa in 2025. The former Bishop McGuinness standout signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent and is battling for a practice-squad or roster-bubble spot in a crowded backfield.
Path to the league
Richardson began his career at Oklahoma State, where he rushed for 1,139 yards and 15 touchdowns over three seasons, before transferring to Baylor for two seasons and running for 628 yards and a touchdown. He finished his college career at Tulsa in 2025 and went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, signing with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent.
Career highlights
Across his three college stops, Richardson totaled 2,832 rushing yards, showing durability and consistent production wherever he played. His best statistical season came in his final year at Tulsa, where he became a workhorse back for the Golden Hurricane.
2025 season recap
Richardson had a breakout 2025 season at Tulsa, rushing for 1,065 yards on 212 carries with five touchdowns while adding 20 receptions for 130 receiving yards out of the backfield. That production helped him land his undrafted free agent deal with Dallas, where he projects as a practice-squad candidate who will need to stand out in pass protection and short-yardage work.
